While the causes of cancer remain unclear, studies on cancer treatment continue. Although the spread of treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy has significantly increased survival rates, experts state that it is very important to take precautions to prevent cancer formation.
REDUCE THE GROWTH OF CANCER CELLS
Aronia (Chokeberry) can reduce cancer growth in a short period of 24 hours thanks to its high antioxidant activities. Also known as aronia berry, the fruit is known for its bitter taste. Aronia berry has attracted the attention of medical professionals in recent years for its powerful anticancer agents and phytochemicals.
A report in the journal Nutrition and Cancer states: “The phytochemicals particularly abundant in raspberries include anthocyanins and phenolic acids. Anthocyanin, which is known to give the aronia fruit its distinctive dark red and purple color, can protect against diseases such as cancer.
THE RICHEST SOURCE OF ANTIOXIDANTS
Aronia is one of the richest sources of antioxidants, along with blueberries and broccoli. Antioxidants are important because they scavenge free radicals from the body’s cells and prevent damage caused by oxidation, which is a precursor to many types of diseases.
VERY EFFECTIVE ON COLON CANCER
In a test-tube study published in the journal Nutrition and Cancer, researchers found that the anthocyanins (antioxidants) in the fruit were particularly effective at reducing the risk of colon cancer. The study found that 50 mg of aronia extract reduced colon cancer cell growth by 60 percent after 24 hours.
WHAT IS ARONIA PLANT?
The aronia fruit, which we know with its preventive effect against cancer, is used as a supplement in addition to coronavirus treatment in many countries due to its ability to increase immunity and accelerate the treatment of infections.
The highest source of Vitamin C and antioxidants, aronia is native to North America and was formerly used by Native Americans to treat colds.
